Turkey vibes coming in 3, 2, 1....🦃

Nov 17, 2021

‘Twas the week plus a few days before Thanksgiving and all is snarled in the supply chains. But enough of that—in today’s edition we have some really great reader contributions from James and Jaime (not confusing at ALL), a marathon running duck, cocktail ideas, dog gift ideas and more!

Best of Humanity

We have to hand it to marathon runners—you guys are pretty damn awesome. The NYC marathon in particular had oodles of runners but this year saw an emotional support duck and this pup getting into the festivities. [via Time Out NY]
